Integration of Themes:

A healthy environment: Many vehicles use our roads and these are a source of pollution. Discuss. Safety on the roads is essential. Learners must obey road rules and safety measures taken by the school and road authorities. Discuss how learners can be safe while walking / travelling to and from school.

Plants and flowers make our environment pretty and attractive. Learners must know these should be protected and not destroyed.

Inclusively: Man, animals and plants all rely on one another to survive. Discuss this statement and give examples.

Vehicles are essentially part of the learner’s experience and through these activities of counting to 150, a graph determining distances and vehicles, and the extension of bonds of 16, are used.

Up to 50 objects are estimated, grouped and counted.

The multiplication tables of 2 is introduced and addition and subtraction of 6, 7, 8 and 9 included.

what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?

Damian

That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.

what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry

Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
